Built in 1920 as the record store of the Misumi court, this 45-square-metre brick building above Misumi West Port joined Japan's cultural property register in 2007.

The 1920 main building of the former Misumi Summary Court stands on a hill above the UNESCO-listed Misumi West Port. A rare surviving example of a regional courthouse built in pure Japanese style by the Ministry of Justice's works section, it is now open free to the public as the House of Law.
